Subreddit-ban-safe route (ads-only into no-promo subs) — a Reddit funnel play

Promoted ads only (no organic promotion) -> landing page -> capture

Stages, in order

1. Identify subreddits that ban self-promotion entirely 2. Use paid Promoted ads as the only legitimate route into those communities 3. Reddit-native ad copy with full disclosure in the thread 4. Landing page with a useful asset, not a hard sales page 5. Reply honestly to ad comments; never post organic promotion there

Who it fits

Reaching communities whose rules ban self-promotion

The benchmark it is judged against

Minimum spend $5/day self-serve (CLAIMED, multiple compilations agree, report §3.1)

Benchmarks are published figures with sources — planning references, never promises of results.

Guardrail

Per-subreddit bans are permanent; in no-promo subs, organic promotion risks the account and the brand (report §3.6)

Build this play

In Kronos, this play is one click: the builder loads it, asks for your industry, offer, ticket and budget (or reads your brand profile), and returns the complete package — creative, page copy, follow-up, retargeting, budget split, launch checklist — checked against the platform's policy rules.
